As to the so-called Hindu idolatry - first go and learn the forms they are going through, and where it is that the worshippers are really worshipping, whether in the temple, in the image, or in the temple of their own bodies. First know for certain what they are doing - which more than ninety per cent of the revilers are thoroughly ignorant of - and then it will explain itself in the light of the Vedantic philosophy.
Swami VivekanandaThe Land where humanity has attained its highest towards gentleness, towards generosity, towards purity, towards calmness - it is India.
Swami VivekanandaLet me draw your attention to one thing which unfortunately we always forget: that is - "O man, have faith in yourself."
Swami Vivekananda"You are pure and perfect, and what you call sin does not belong to you". Sins are low degrees of Self-manifestation; manifest your Self in a high degree.
Swami VivekanandaPraise and blame, good and bad, even heat and cold, must be equally acceptable to us.
Swami Vivekananda
